	*'''Morat Vanguard Infantry:''' The Vanguard Infantry is the basic Morat trooper. Though they have average stats (higher PH than any other basic trooper) they pay a premium for the Morat Skill. The higher PH makes Paramedics slightly better. Individually, they're not great. They have 3 specialist options: EI Hacker ~~(the cheapest regular Hacking Device in MAF)~~, Forward Observer, and Paramedic.		*'''Morat Vanguard Infantry:''' The Vanguard Infantry is the basic Morat trooper.

	**'''Treikat Anyat:''' Anyat is the Dire Foe character based on the Vanguard profile. However, she has a higher BS12 and BTS3, and brings quite an arsenal. K1 Combi Rifle is a one of a kind in the MAF and is dangerous versus targets with high ARM values. Chain Colt for dealing with crowds, camo, and Intuitive Attacks. Finally, she's also armed with both Smoke Grenades AND E/M Grenades. She'll provide Smoke coverage for their advance, and lob E/M grenades with Speculative Fire while still benefiting from the +3MOD. Whether she is linked or flying solo, Anyat brings a whole arsenal for only 25pts		**'''Treikat Anyat:''' Anyat is the Dire Foe character based on the Vanguard profile.

	**'''Staldron Remote Ancillary Unit:''' New from ITS Season 8, you can "dismount" a what's basically a REM from your Remote Presence TAGs.

	*'''Overdron Batroids:''' A hearty gun TAG, comes with ECM and two tinbots for protection against smart hacking attacks and to create a white noise zone around it for two turns. In terms of guns, there's the ever popular HMC for medium-range, high-burst MULTI death as the most expensive option. If you're strapped for points, you could also consider the double plasma sniper for long range spam or the double HRL if you're really strapped for points and want circular fire templates; with two HRLs, it's ''cheaper'' points-wise than a Xeodron but costs 1-1.5 more SWC. ~~It's~~ only downsides are its comparatively slow speed and light armour for a TAG, but it easily makes up for that in guns and gear.		*'''Overdron Batroids:''' A hearty gun TAG, comes with ECM and two tinbots for protection against smart hacking attacks and to create a white noise zone around it for two turns.

	*'''Avatar:''' Congratulations - you found the most expensive trooper in the game! The end-all, be-all of the EI aspects clocking in at 137 points and 3.5 SWC, you will get what you pay for and oh boy do you get a lot. We're talking an ARM/BTS 9 TAG with an eye-watering stat-line, ECM, ODD, possession immunity, Strategos 3 and can eject ~~it's~~ WIP 17 and lieutenant skill into any cube or autotool in the army thanks to Mnemonica. Armed with a DA CCW, Multi HMG and Sepsitor Plus, only an idiot would try a conventional attack against an Avatar... which is why most players don't. Instead, they will try and shower your uber-monster with E/M and ADHL weapons while starving your beast of orders, or will try and brick you with a well-placed hacking attack. Anything else is fucking suicide - shooting at your boss monster without any tricks or exotic weapons only results in a return volley from a Multi HMG while the other shots bounce off this beast's armour. Similarly a run up attempt at close combat with a mono CC weapon will likely cost your opponent a special model that will very likely get used against him.		*'''Avatar:''' Congratulations - you found the most expensive trooper in the game!

It has options for a K1 combi rifle, a spitfire or a boarding shotgun and HD+.

	*'''Ikadron Batroids:''' The Ikadron is is a fast little baggage bot armed with 2 LFTs. It also has Flash Pulse with WIP13. They're only 9pts and only AVA2. Ikadrons are good for order filler, mid ranged Flash Pulse overwatch, and occasionally making a mad dash to light a dude up with the 2 LFTs. They're also ''excellent'' support for resupply runs. In the vanilla force, they along with Unidrons below function as autotool escape hatches for EI aspects that slip into a null state. Not only can they become your lieutenant in an emergency, but they can also bestow their WIP 16+ on the bot for awesome flash pulse shots!		*'''Ikadron Batroids:''' The Ikadron is is a fast little baggage bot armed with 2 LFTs.

	*'''Unidron Batroids:''' Yeah, they're basically battledroids. They are nicely armed sporting plasma carbines or K1 combi-rifles but stat-wise, they are garbage; their sole saving grace is very high BTS of 6, handy for defense against the haxorz. Speaking of, you will need to field a hacker or TAG yourself in order to run Unidrons because of their G:Autotool rule. Fortunately, Unidrons have 3 main upsides: first, they're REMs so they benefit from support ware programs. Second, there's a strange interplay between Dogged and Remote Presence (remember, autotool is RP with extras); be sure to read up on how it works in order to better understand how it works. Though they cannot be taken in core fireteams in this list, the autotool has one last boon: it's an escape hatch for your EI aspects if they eat it. Do not overlook them!		*'''Unidron Batroids:''' Yeah, they're basically battledroids.

	*'''Charontids:''' Probably one of the wider used EI aspects, this thing is basically a small TAG and costs about as much. Comes with a good stat line, NWI, heavy pistol, nanopulser and Mnemonica but the best part about a Charontid are its gear options. You have two MSV3 options with either an HMG or plasma rifle; alternatively, you can have a hacking device plus, sepsitor plus and/or without a tinbot A with any of the plasma rifle toting options. On top of that, all of those except the sepsitor plus without the tinbot can be your lieutenant, although this is a risky idea; the threat of a Charontid alone is enough for your opponent to want to pour boxes of ammo at the guy. You needn't reward his decisions with LoL when it eventually goes into a null state because of it. However, if you plan on using an aggressive Charontid, either pick a different trooper for your lieutenant or bring a few autotools.		*'''Charontids:''' Probably one of the wider used EI aspects, this thing is basically a small TAG and costs about as much.

	**'''Note:''' Compared to the other two MSV3-troopers in the game, the Charontid is actually a tick on the weaker side. The things that make the Charontid special are certainly Mnemonica, but also the unique plasma rifle option and their WIP is the highest of the 3. Unfortunately, if you want to use that high WIP for anything, you will need to take this thing as a lieutenant or [[FAIL\|drop the MSV3 entirely]] by taking a sepsitor plus or EI hacking device.

	*'''Skiavoros:''' The first and lightest EI aspect we encounter in this list and the one veteran players swear by. First, they have some interesting rules: Mimetism, Strategos 2, NWI and the piece de resistance, G: Mnemonica. Be sure to understand how Mnemonica works but as a primer, you can hop the trooper's WIP and the Mnemonica and Lieutenant skills into any other Cube or Autotool trooper in your army should your aspect eat dirt. On top of that, they pack either a spitfire or plasma rifle and the option for a sepsitor plus, though the MI MOV values for this guy make it something of an extravagance. Otherwise, a great choice for a lieutenant considering the Strategos 2; just be sure to pack a bunch of cubes and autotools just in case.		*'''Skiavoros:''' The first and lightest EI aspect we encounter in this list and the one veteran players swear by.

	**'''Note:''' Even though Skiavoros have a STR value, the model does not have multiple levels of unconsciousness like other Ghost rules so once you lose a STR after NWI, your bot is dead. All the STR really does is ensure that you will need an engineer to keep this thing going.		**'''Note:''' Even though Skiavoros have a STR value, the model does not have multiple levels of unconsciousness like other Ghost rules so once you lose a STR after NWI, your bot is dead.

	*'''Special Operative Ko Dali:''' Combined Army trolling the Human Sphere and the Yu Jing specifically. Ko Dali used to be a character for Yu Jing but was sepsitorized on Paradiso after being left for dead. Now she belongs to us - and we've made some... [[RAPE\|''modifications'']] to her. She's basically a jacked-up Fraacta (or Rasyat) packing a pair of assault pistols, D-charges, an MSV2 and Protheion 1.
